Nice topic by the way,For me I must admit that I have no other option.Where I grow up , according to breeders there were three types of pigeon:1-Domestic pigeon (refers only taklas)2-Feral pigeon(columba livia)3-Kut (anything between them)So,i started with taklas and now my coop is takla only.But i breed kelebeks and they have also looks and performence..
